QCA consultation on GCSE criteria

Consult QCAIt proposes a cut in coursework - or Controlled Internal Assessment as it is now called - from 40% to 25%. Do you think that is enough to encourage young people to get involved with Citizenship activities that really count? Will it just reduce the impact that the activity has and therefore fail to engage them now and in the future?

The consultation period runs to September 15th - so respond to it now before the holidays begin. You will find the link to the consultation on the front page of the QCA website.
